commit 21c5e50e15b1abd797e62f18fd7f90b9cc004cbd upstream.

When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the
processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this
causing an oops.

On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the
"normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're
generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last
is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without
northbridge descriptors.

Sandy Bridge processors follow the SDM (Vol 3B, Table 15-20) and
set both the RIPV and EIPV bits in the MCG_STATUS register to
zero for machine checks during instruction fetch. This is more
than a little counter-intuitive and means that Linux cannot
recover from these errors. Rather than insert special case code
at several places in mce.c and mce-severity.c, we pretend the
EIPV bit was set for just this case early in processing the
machine check.

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Features:
   * Performance improvement to lower the amount of traps the hypervisor
     has to do 32-bit guests.  Mainly for setting PTE entries and
     updating TLS descriptors.
   * MCE polling driver to collect hypervisor MCE buffer and present
     them to /dev/mcelog.
   * Physical CPU online/offline support.  When an privileged guest is
     booted it is present with virtual CPUs, which might have an 1:1 to
     physical CPUs but usually don't.  This provides mechanism to
     offline/online physical CPUs.
  Bug-fixes for:
   * Coverity found fixes in the console and ACPI processor driver.
   * PVonHVM kexec fixes along with some cleanups.
   * Pages that fall within E820 gaps and non-RAM regions (and had been
     released to hypervisor) would be populated back, but potentially in
     non-RAM regions."

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: populate correct number of pages when across mem boundary (v2)
  xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec
  xen: simplify init_hvm_pv_info
  xen: remove cast from HYPERVISOR_shared_info assignment
  xen: enable platform-pci only in a Xen guest
  xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel
  xen/x86: avoid updating TLS descriptors if they haven't changed
  xen/x86: add desc_equal() to compare GDT descriptors
  xen/mm: zero PTEs for non-present MFNs in the initial page table
  xen/mm: do direct hypercall in xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable
  xen/hvc: Fix up checks when the info is allocated.
  xen/acpi: Fix potential memory leak.
  xen/mce: add .poll method for mcelog device driver

there are 3 funcs which need to be _initcalled in a logic sequence:
1. xen_late_init_mcelog
2. mcheck_init_device
3. threshold_init_device

xen_late_init_mcelog must register xen_mce_chrdev_device before
native mce_chrdev_device registration if running under xen platform;

mcheck_init_device should be inited before threshold_init_device to
initialize mce_device, otherwise a a NULL ptr dereference will cause panic.

so we use following _initcalls
1. device_initcall(xen_late_init_mcelog);
2. device_initcall_sync(mcheck_init_device);
3. late_initcall(threshold_init_device);

when running under xen, the initcall order is 1,2,3;
on baremetal, we skip 1 and we do only 2 and 3.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first,
and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.

This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert
Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically
self-contained, not touching other kernel components.

By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,
like what they did under native Linux.

In commit dad1743e5993f1 ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine
check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a
signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not
set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't
get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t-&gt;si_addr. This
would prevent application level recovery from the fault.

Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so
that we will provide the right information with the signal.
